Oil Spill Clean-up: Lab Report Description There are various methods for cleaning up oil spills. Some methods allow oil to be recovered‚ whereas others do not. Some methods are more expensive than others‚ some are more efficient than others‚ and some have more of an environmental impact. Regardless of the method used‚ cleaning up oil spilled on water is a very time-consuming and difficult task. In this activity‚ you will model various methods used for cleaning up an oil spill on water. Material

zmosis The IB Lab Report Measuring osmosis 1. Introduction My experiment is about osmosis on a potato and if or the quantity of salt affects osmosis. I would do the experiment with 5 potatoes cut into squares all the potatoes weight the same so the weight can`t be a variable the I put the potatoes on 5 different plastic cups with different amounts of salt and then I weight them again to see if the quantity of salt affected the osmosis of potatoes 1a. Research question ¿Does the quantity

Before this fieldtrip to Lee County Solid Waste Facility‚ I lacked knowledge regarding the fate of our trash. My idea of a waste facility went along the lines of a big dump site or landfill; contrarily‚ I am familiar with what items are deemed recyclable in Lee County. My experience at the Lee County Solid Waste Facility‚ operated by Covanta‚ showed me how garbage has the potential to provide electrical power to over 250‚000 homes. Waste to Energy is a primary example of how America can become more

Succession Lab INTRODUCTION: The purpose of our lab was to begin to understand the rates of succession. Succession is a number of persons or things following one another in order or sequence. Considering that all living things follow some sort of order‚ Joey Collins‚ Brian Carman‚ Chris Broadwater‚ Marisa Grondin‚ and I attempted to figure the succession rates of two different forests. In order to do this we used the forest behind the elementary school and the forest behind the track‚ by the

Carbohydrate Lab Report Introduction Qualitative identification of a substance is of significant importance in chemistry. Physical constants such as melting points have traditionally been used by organic chemistry for identification of unknown compounds. As for inorganic substances‚ the precipitation of a solid‚ results of a flame test‚ or the formation of a colored substance could all be keys to identifying a sample. Chromatography and spectra are amongst the newer techniques

Lab Report 1/28/13 Observations of Chemical Changes Page. 14 Objectives: The objectives of this experiment are: 1. To observe some properties of chemical reactions 2. to associate chemical properties with household products Background Information: Chemical changes are often accompanied by physical changes. Three that you should not see in this lab are changes in temperature‚ presence of a flame‚ and evolution of light‚ as when as firefly glows. Three physical changes that indicate a

Wanni Lin Biology 110 March 2‚ 2015 DNA Lab BACKGROUND In this laboratory experiment‚ students were introduced to DNA electrophoresis. DNA electrophoresis is an instrument that many forensic scientists use to get a DNA fingerprint as an evidence for crimes. Not only can it be used for forensic science‚ people can use this for paternity test‚ as well as look for evolutionary relationships among organisms. Agarose is used to make the gel that the DNA fragments are going into. Since DNA particles are

Photosynthesis Lab Report Purpose: To research the effect of different wavelengths (colors) of light on plant growth during photosynthesis. Background Information: Photosynthesis is the process by which sunlight is captured by chloroplasts within plant cells and turned into energy. This energy is used to help the plant grow roots‚ leaves‚ flowers and fruit. Energy is required by living things
